' I Application filed September 30,1881. (Specimen) To all whom it mayconcern: I

Be it known that I, WILLIAM HADDEN, a citizen of the UnitedStates,residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York,

have invented a new and useful Manufacture of Ornamented Fabrics, ofwhich the following is a specification.

My invention relates to that class of fabrics ornauientedby. theapplication of dry colors to its surface.

The object of my invention is to produce ornamented fabrics of rubber,enameled cloth, or oil-cloth, which end I attain by ornainenting such'fabrics, during the process of manufacturing them and while still in adamp or adhesive condition, by applying two or more pulverized drycolors to said surface before the final process of finishing the goodsby passing them between calenderin g or finishing rolls in the usualwell-known way.

The particular subject-matter of my invention is designated in theclaims at the end of this specification.

Letters Patent of the United States No. 238,991, granted March 15, 1881,to William H. R. Toye, for ornamentin g paper and other material,contains a full description of the method of and apparatus for applyingsuch dry colors to a completed sized fabric. Such an apparatus fordistributing and applying eolors'may readily be applied to thewell-known machinery for enameling cloth, makingoil-cloth, and preparingrubber cloth, and such apparatus therefore need not be described herein,as it constitutes no part of the subject-matter herein claimed, and iswell known.

I claim as of my own iuvention-- l. The method hereindescribed ofornament 'in g fibrous or textile fabrics, which consists in applyingtwo or more pulverized dry colors to thesaid fabric during the processof its manufacture, while in a damp or adhesive state, previous to itspassage through the finishing or calendering rolls.

2. As a new article of i'uanufacture, fibrous or textile material,such'as rubber cloth, oilcloth, or enameled cloth, ornamented by theapplication of two or more dry powdered colors during the process of itsmanufacture.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name this 29th day ofSeptember, A. D. 1881.
